<p>um your GPA, is a little low, and your EC’s are a little lacking, but hopefully you get in!. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I think your transcript, ECs and scores are all generally very strong, with the limited exception of the CR 670 on the SAT.
Still, I don’t think that will kill you.
Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you have a high chance of getting in. If you do ED, then your chances are probably higher. You may want to try taking the ACT – in case you score a high score in it, you can turn it in in lieu of SAT I. Since you have good scores on SAT II and APs, I believe you will do very well in the ACT compared to the SAT I. And take the ACT with writing when do take it. Good luck!</p>

<p>see you in the fall (if you go ed)</p>

<p>Our school doesn’t rank, but at least two of my friends with higher GPAs are applying here. I, however, have the higher test scores and stronger ECs. They will also be applying early decision, but I will either be doing early action or regular decision. Will that hurt my chances?</p>
